SAMUEL WEBSTER built, in 1806, a large three-story house on the west side of the old common on the hill. He was a shoemaker by trade, and had a shop for that purpose in the basement of the lower story. In the upper part he intended to keep tavern ; but he probably did not count the cost, inasmuch as he never finished the building, and moved away about three years afterwards, greatly in debt. Nothing is known of whence he came or whither he went. The house stood awhile, unfinished, being occupied by transient parties, several dying there of spotted fever, but was finally taken down and used for the frame of the Appleton house, now standing in the west part of Deering, and known as " Appleton Tavern."
WEEKS.
SAMUEL WEEKS was born in 1764 ; married Sarah Wadleigh of Londonderry, and came from that town to Antrim; lived in a long, low, wooden house where the brick house, now Samuel M. Thompson's, stands. He was a drover, and brought large flocks of sheep and hogs from Vermont. He seems to have lived awhile about 1812 on the Shat- tuck place; was an active, energetic man ; moved to Chelmsford, Mass., and kept tavern awhile, then came back and settled in Bennington, just over the river from his old home, where he died in 1816, aged fifty-two. His wife died in 1813, aged fifty-three. Their children were : -

WESTON.
DEA. SUTHERIC WESTON, son of Ebenezer and Mehitable (Suth- eric) Weston, grandson of Thomas and Elizabeth Weston, and great- grandson of John and Sarah (Fitch) Weston of Reading, Mass. (which John came from England to Salem, Mass., in 1644, at the age of thirteen, and settled in Reading, Mass., in 1652, where he married Sarah Fitch), was born Nov. 19, 1751. Judge Weston of Augusta, Me., and Ex-Gov. Weston of Manchester are of the same stock. The "Weston coat of arms " being identical with that of the " Earl of Portland," it is claimed that their descent can be traced from him. The parents of Dea. Sutheric Weston moved to Amherst, N. H., in 1752. He was out in the Revolu- tionary war, and suffered much from hardship and starvation. At the battle of the Cedars in Canada he was taken prisoner by the Indians and nearly starved, when they decided to give him and others a chance to run for their lives. The deacon, being a man of great muscular power and endurance, made for the woods, rushed into a dense swamp, and managed to escape pursuit after a time. He was finally discovered by a scout of his regiment, his flesh torn and bleeding, his clothes hanging in fragments about him, and in a nearly famished condition. He is also said to have been once regularly exchanged, in company with Lemuel Curtis and others, for British prisoners. He went from Amherst to Bunker Hill, and was one of those who went across and shared in the last part of that battle. Jan. 20, 1779, Dea. Weston married Mary DeLancy ; came from Amherst to Antrim in 1786; and succeeded John Gordon at North Branch on the place now owned by Oliver Swett, build- ing, in connection with his son, Capt. Sutheric Weston, the large house on that place, in 1807. He was appointed deacon in the Presbyterian Church in 1800; was a faithful, able, and good man, and died May 11, 1831, aged over seventy-nine years. His wife died Aug. 4, 1838, aged eighty-two. Their children are as follows : -
1. MARY L., [b. Nov. 12, 1780 ; m. Daniel Moore of Bedford, and had a large family ; d. in Montpelier, Vt., at great age.] 2. CAPT. SUTHERIC, [b. March 8, 1783 ; m. Sally S. McCauley in 1808 ; was familiarly called " Captain," holding that com- mission in the cavalry in 1819 ; lived for some time with his father, afterward moved into a house then standing northeast of J. G. Flint's, (built by Francis Stuart just within the town line, because he wanted the honor of living in Antrim, - wise man !) moved thence to Whitney place, and from there to Nashua in 1836, where he d. May 30, 1850. His widow d. in Holyoke, Mass., in 1854. Their children were : -

David M., (b. May 22, 1818 ; m. Mary Jane Carter of Hollis, and now lives in Boston. Was one of the donors of the Center vestry ; is a man of large means, and a generous giver to all the charities. Is a man full of faith and full of good works. Mr. Weston is the inventor of the machine for drying sugar in process of manufacture, now used all over the world. This invention is simply the application of centrifugal motion to useful purposes. The same principle appears in his "laundry-machine," " centrifugal clothes- wringer," and in his " cream-machine." The latter effects the mechanical separation of cream from the milk in less time than is occupied in milking, and promises to revolu- tionize the dairy business in all large establishments. Mr. Weston holds several patents, both in the United States and Great Britain, of inventions highly useful to the world and profitable to himself. He is a thinking, practical man, - one of the ablest and best that have gone out from Antrim ; a Christian, enjoying the confidence of men and living in the fear of God.)

WILLIAM WESTON was grandson of Timothy and Esther (Lamp- son) Weston of Concord, Mass., and son of Ephraim and Elisabeth (Nay) Weston of Peterborough, and was born in that town April 15, 1798. His father was born Aug. 19, 1767, and died Sept. 8, 1829, in this town. Buried in Stoddard. He came here in 1820, and settled on the Andrew Robb place as known at the present day, on a tract of wild land belong- ing to "Squire James Wilson " of Keene, father of Gen. Wilson. This land, and other large tracts with it, Mr. Weston soon acquired. He be- came an extensive raiser of stock, at one time owning a thousand sheep and many cattle, and having in charge also large flocks that were owned below. He was a man of many virtues, and was honest as the daylight. It used to be said that " Bill Weston's word was as good as his note." His removal to Hancock in 1834 was a matter of general regret in Antrim. In that town he died June 24, 1848. He married Harriet Hall, Dec. 17, 1822, who died May 9, 1831, aged thirty-one. He married, second, Mrs. Mary D. (Copeland) Fisher in 1833. She was born in Stoddard, July 19, 1803, and died in Hancock, Aug. 28, 1853. The children of William Weston were as follows, all but the youngest born in Antrim : -
1. CAPT. EPHRAIM, [b. Nov. 9, 1823. Was a man of good edu- cation, of great agility and strength, and of marked noble- ness and manliness of character. He was one whose bear- ing compelled the respect of others. Always took great in- terest in military affairs, and was among the very first to enlist in his country's service on the breaking-out of the rebellion. Was captain in the Second N. H. Regiment ; was in the first battle of Bull Run ; lost his life in the ser- vice, coming home to die, - which event took place in Han- cock, Dec. 9, 1861. He is justly placed among thie most worthy of the sons of Antrim. His wife was Elvina H. Gates. They settled in Hancock, and he enlisted from that town. His children were : William Henry, who was b. Aug. 8, 1849 ; Clara Elvina, who was b. June 16, 1851, and m. Alfred Barber, Feb. 5, 1868 ; George F., who was b. Oct. 3, 1853, and graduated at Brown University in 1878; Mary E., who was b.

He d. in his berth at night, and it was claimed that no one knew of it till morning. There was a mystery about it never cleared up. With many others, he was on his way to California at the time of the gold excitement. Was a promising young man. Many will remember his handsome form and pleasant disposition, and how there were a host of friends that mourned his early death.]
5. JOHN C., [b. Oct. 26, 1834 ; was weak and feeble in his early years, but was stirred with a great desire to travel, and so went round the world as a " sailor before the mast." He sailed from Boston on the ship " John Wade " Sept. 5, 1851, being less than seventeen years of age, and returned Aug. 5, 1852. The next year he went again to California and remained fifteen years, mostly among the mines of that State and Oregon. He then settled in Clinton, Io., where he still resides.

TIMOTHY WESTON, brother of William, Sen., named above, was born Dec. 7, 1805. He married his cousin, Matilda Nay of Peterborough, April 8, 1830; succeeded his brother on the Robb Mountain, but after- wards sold to William Weston, Jr., and went to Nauvoo, Ill., to join the Mormons. He soon became disgusted with their practices, and, with lost health and lost property, he returned to Hancock and died Sept. 29, 1855. His widow became the second wife of Abisha Tubbs of Peterbor- ough. They had one child, Sarah A. Weston, who died July 9, 1849, aged sixteen; and four others that died very young. The second hus- band, in company with his brother, Joseph Tubbs, was for many years a manufacturer of cotton yarn, batting, etc., in Peterborough. He was born in Marlow, May 21, 1791.
The brothers and sisters of Timothy Weston all lived together in the family on the mountain for a short time, and were as follows: Ephraim, Jr., who died in Cambridge, Mass., June 22, 1828; second, Elizabeth, who died unmarried, Feb. 26, 1865; third, William, noticed above; John, who married Sophronia Farwell and died in Washington, June 4, 1873, aged sixty-nine; fifth, Esther, who married Robert McClure of Antrim, 1828, and died July 15, 1835; sixth, Timothy, noticed above; and seventh, Sarah Ann, who died unmarried Feb. 12, 1836, aged twenty-two, and was . buried on the plain in Antrim. At the time this family lived together on the mountain, and down as late as 1840, there were four farm-houses on the land of William Weston, with large families, full barns, and large stocks of cattle and sheep. Now every house is gone, the road is thrown up, and one hardly sees an indication that human habitations once were there!
WHITCOMB.
ABIJAH WHITCOMB came here from Swanzey in 1846 and lived about two years. He built the mill on the site of the Aiken or Volney Johnson mill, now Goodell's lower mill. His son Frank married a Miss Nichols of Peterborough, and lived here about a year with his father. They all moved to Peterborough. Thence the older couple moved to Claremont and died there. There was an Abijah Whitcomb in the Rev- olutionary army from Swanzey, probably father of above.
